Ogre UI - Python Prototype

UI development is like an ogre, it has LAYERS

Wayland (mainly sway) GTK overlay that translates input prompts of one controller face button type to another.

WIP added bonus: I hope to add the ability to append mappings. Namely for the purposes of hotkeys.

• i.e. you hold down your HOME button and it lets you know which face button fast fowards, save-states, quits, etc.

Automatically detects what type of face buttons you have by asking you to press C or X. If you press C it detects a 6-button sega controller, otherwise it assumes nintendo, playstation, xbox, etc.

Seeing as this is likely going to be a heavy process on weaker systems, I plan on translating this to a faster language like Go or C.

This version is simply a rapid prototype.
